How to Buy an Ipod Protector

Introduction
Due to its extraordinary popularity, there are thousands of accessories available to enhance the performance and usability of every generation and version of Apple's iPod. IPod protectors are among the most popular and useful accessories, as they prevent costly damage to the expensive devices they encase. With so many models to choose from, its important to compare the features and benefits of several brands before making a purchase.

Instructions
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Steps

1
Step One
Buy an iPod protector that's easy to use. Which model you choose depends on individual usage habits. If you dock your iPod often, for example, buy a protector that allows easy access to ports. Some cases provide excellent coverage but are very hard to put on and take off.

2
Step Two
Narrow your search to protectors with useful features. Many iPod cases come with removable belt clips and lanyards that increase portability, especially for on-the-go users.

3
Step Three
Shop for a good value. There are iPod protectors to fit every budget, with prices ranging from under $10 to over $10,000. Fortunately, most of us don't need a diamond encrusted iPod case and can find a well-made, attractive model for less than $35. Most cases under $10 are flimsy, provide limited protection and require frequent replacement.

4
Step Four
Find a case that will protect your iPod's screen and click wheel. A lot of stylish models look great, but fail to cover the iPod's most vulnerable areas. If you opt for a case that lacks screen coverage, buy a sheet of protective screen covering and cut it to fit. You can find customizable screen protectors in large electronic and camera stores.

5
Step Five
Enhance your iPod's appearance with an attractive case. Many users are drawn to the iPod's sleek design and snazzy colors. Almost every model comes in a variety of colors and some brands feature playful and unusual designs. For the more utilitarian user, plain protectors are easy to find, but are not always less expensive.

How to Choose Between an iPod and an iPod Nano

Introduction
The iPod has become a cultural icon, a symbol of style and youth. There is an iPod for everyone, no matter your age or personal style. Depending on what you want from your media player, you can probably get it. Here are some easy tips and tricks on how to choose between an iPod and an iPod Nano.

Instructions
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Steps

1
Step One
For video, opt for the iPod. The Nano supports picture storage, but doesn’t playback video.

2
Step Two
If you’ve got a lot of media, opt for the iPod. The iPod comes with an 80 gig hard drive which is 10 times that of the top of the line 8 gig iPod Nano.

3
Step Three
For accessories, opt for the iPod. Although there are plenty of accessories for the iPod Nano, there are still many more for the original, larger iPod.

4
Step Four
If price is an object and all you want to do is listen to music, opt for the iPod Nano. It’s $100 less, and eight gigs is a lot of songs (2,000 on average) which is larger than most people’s whole libraries.

5
Step Five
Go to a local electronics store, bring your headphones and a notebook, and test drive both of them. Feel them out and see which you’re more comfortable using.

6
Step Six
If fashion comes first, go with the Nano. Its size and array of colors (pink, blue, green, grey and black compared to the black or white iPod) are all the rage.

7
Step Seven
Consider battery life. The larger screen and video capacity of the iPod shorten its battery life (says Mac) to 20 hours while the smaller iPod Nano has a 24 hour battery life.
